Effects of health empowerment intervention on
resilience of adolescents in a tribal area: A
study using the Solomon four-groups design
(good title)
ABSTRACT
Rationale: Resilience prevents the emergence of stress-related mental health problems among adolescents. Adolescents in
tribal areas of India are more prone to develop such problems.
Objectives: The primary objective was to determine the effect of combined life skills-based health empowerment
intervention on the resilience of school-going adolescents in a tribal area. The secondary objectives were to determine the
effect of the intervention on internal health locus of control and self determination and to compare the effect of
intervention on resilience between non-tribal and tribal adolescents.
Methods: We conducted this quasi-experimental study using a Solomon four-group design among 742 adolescents in two
schools of Purulia, West Bengal, India. Students of the pretested group were examined for resilience using the Child
Youth Resilience Measurement scale. A life skills education-based health empowerment intervention was administered
among students of the experimental group. Post-test data on resilience, self-determination, internal health locus of control
and pathological behaviour was obtained 3 months after the completion of intervention. A multi-level general linear
mixed model was constructed to determine the effect of intervention on resilience.
Results: Resilience was less among tribal adolescents at baseline. The intervention significantly improved resilience
[βAdjusted = 11.19 (95% CI ¼ 10.55, 11.83], with a greater increase for tribal adolescents [βtribal-nontribal = 1.53 (95%
CI ¼ 0.03, 3.03)]. The intervention also significantly improved internal health locus of control (marginal mean increment
1.38 ± 0.05), self-determination (marginal mean increment 3.71 ± 0.09) and reduced pathological behaviour of the
adolescents.
Conclusion: Our study informed the current health policy that the existing life skills education-based programme should
be reviewed and modified to include generic life skills, and the life skills education-based programme should be coupled
with developmental interventions aimed at improving adult education and family climate for optimum effect on mental
health and health behaviour of adolescents.

INTRODUCTION
• Mental health problems are linked to the negative affect state and
unsuccessful coping in the presence of stress
• Indian adolescents residing in tribal areas are exposed to an even
greater risk of developing stress-related mental health problems
• They face greater adversity in life course and are deprived of even the
basic amenities
• Threats and stressors: poverty, violence, disaster and war
• Low stress resilience in adolescence is associated with greater risk of
receiving medications for depression and anxiety in middle age
• Empowerment has been shown as an effective method to increase
resilience
• Strength-based approaches focus on local capacity building by
attending to inherent resources or strengths of individuals, families,
groups or organizations ‘deploying personal strengths to aid recovery’
• Popular form of strength-based intervention is life skills education
• Success of LSE depends on the fidelity of implementation
• To inform the current health policy regarding the effect of a short-term
modified LSE-based empowerment intervention on the resilience of
school-going adolescents
(scientific background and rationale well explained)
• Primary:
 To determine the effect of combined life skills-based health
empowerment intervention on the resilience of school-going
adolescents in a tribal area
OBJECTIVES
• Secondary:
 To determine the effect of the intervention on internal health
locus of control and self determination
 To compare the effect of intervention on resilience between non-
tribal and tribal adolescents

Data source:
• Secondary data: School academic record used to assess the academic
performance of the students in the previous annual examination
INTERVENTION
• Intervention module had two parts:
 Basic life skills (adapted from intervention module of Adolescent
Girl Empowerment Programme)
 Specific health interventions (adapted from existing life skill
education module)
Several discussion sessions were held with the respective class teachers
of the selected schools, and priority areas for LSE were identified
From an exhaustive list of identified choices for domains of
intervention, the experts of Community Medicine and experts of
Education identified a limited number of individual empowerment-
specific domains
Intervention module was prepared on the basis of the priorities

Domains:
Nutrition
• ‘Healthy and unhealthy food’ was renamed as ‘I
decide my food, I decide my health’
• Names of foods were changed based on local food
availability and dietary practices
Health and
hygiene domain
• Intervention related to hand washing was retained
• Goal setting and achieving for increasing the motivation of the
students towards a goal-directed life approach and it was included
from the AGEP module
• All the modules, charts and handouts were translated into Bengali
and culturally adapted by bilingual experts
• Sessions ranged from 45 to 120 min
• The intervention was administered by K.S. following training by
A.D. and M.P.S.
• To ensure 100% attendance of the students, attendance was made
compulsory on the intervention days by school authorities
(Details about the intervention was given)
DATA COLLECTION
• At baseline, all the students were surveyed by K.S.
• Data regarding primary outcome were obtained from students of the
pretested group only
• All students of the experimental groups were also examined with SDQ
• Data regarding academic performance were obtained for all students at
baseline
• Post-intervention data individual resilience, self-determination and
HLC were obtained at 3 months of follow-up from all the four groups
• Data regarding the strength and difficulties of the experimental group
students were obtained at the same time
• Section-wise examination was conducted within the classrooms in
sessions similar to pre-test sessions
(data collection well described)
• Bivariate correlations obtained for all independent variables with pre-
test resilience scores
• Standard statistical analysis plan to determine the effect of intervention
and pre-test on primary outcome (Braver and Braver, 1988)
• Multi-level mixed effect general linear modelling
STATISTICALANALYSIS
• Random effect of ethnicity nested within each class of study in
addition to considering the fixed effect of ethnicity to obtain an
adjusted effect averaged for the population
• Path analysis performed to determine the direct and indirect effects of
intervention on resilience taking:
 Pre-test scores of resilience, internal HLC, self-determination
and intervention as exogenous variables
 Post-test scores of internal HLC and self-determination as
endogenous variables
 Post-test scores of resilience as outcome variables
• Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 13
• Repeated measure ANOVA was performed in SPSS v20
• overall and ethnicity- and sex-stratified marginal means of resilience
before and after intervention (unadjusted and adjusted for baseline
variables) were plotted
(adequate and appropriate)

study had statistically significant association with resilience factors,
except type of family and age of students, generally in the expected
directions
• For example, greater levels of violence experienced were associated
with lower resilience
Pre-test sensitization:
• In 2-way ANOVA to determine the main effect and interaction effect
of the two factors (i.e., pre-test and intervention), only the intervention
effect was statistically significant on the post-test scores
• Mean difference of estimated marginal means between the intervention

* Only significant paths has been shown
• In line with the objectives
• Some table column headings missing
• Figures are self explanatory
• Footnotes are given
• All statistical analysis has been done
• Number of participants (n) for intervention and control group given
STRENGTHS:
• Solomon's four-group design used to avoid the bias of pre-test
sensitization
• 100% participation rate by the students throughout the intervention
LIMITATIONS:
• First stage sampling was limited to only two community development
blocks because of limitation of resources
• Students were allocated to different groups through section-wise
allocation, which was a non-random allocation
• Data on family climate-related variables were based on self-reports
of the adolescents, which may be exaggerated/under-reported
• Academic performance of the students was measured using record
of school performance only, which may contain recording errors
(strengths and limitations well addressed)
• LSE-based health empowerment intervention successfully increases
resilience and two important resilience characteristics, self-
determination and HLC
• Reduces the gap in resilience between tribal and non-tribal
adolescents
CONCLUSIONS
(conclusions are in line with objectives)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Quality-assured training of the teachers and quality control of
intervention
• Study informs the existing health policy that school mental health
services should be coupled with developmental activities
• Follow-up study to determine washout period of effect of intervention
(specific, doable but not derived from study findings)

Solomon four group design

  • 1. Effects of health empowerment intervention on resilience of adolescents in a tribal area: A study using the Solomon four-groups design Presenter: Avantika Gupta Moderator: Prof Brogen Singh Akoijam Social Science & Medicine xxx (2017) 1e10
  • 3. SOLOMON FOUR GROUP DESIGN An experimental design that assesses the effect of having been pretested on the magnitude of the treatment effect Richard L. Solomon
  • 5. Pre PrePost Post Outcome Outcome Treatment effect Treatment and testing effect Pre-test sensitization I pre-post C pre-post I post C post
  • 6. RESILIENCE Ability of a vulnerable individual to cope in the presence of an adverse situation is labelled resilience Exposure to significant threat or adversity Achievement of positive adaptation despite major assaults on the developmental process
  • 7. Positive adaptation Positive view of self High intellectual functioning Self- regulations of emotions Learned helplessness Coping with stressors
  • 9. LIFE SKILLS Are the abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour, that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life
  • 12. Effects of health empowerment intervention on resilience of adolescents in a tribal area: A study using the Solomon four-groups design (good title)
  • 13. ABSTRACT Rationale: Resilience prevents the emergence of stress-related mental health problems among adolescents. Adolescents in tribal areas of India are more prone to develop such problems. Objectives: The primary objective was to determine the effect of combined life skills-based health empowerment intervention on the resilience of school-going adolescents in a tribal area. The secondary objectives were to determine the effect of the intervention on internal health locus of control and self determination and to compare the effect of intervention on resilience between non-tribal and tribal adolescents. Methods: We conducted this quasi-experimental study using a Solomon four-group design among 742 adolescents in two schools of Purulia, West Bengal, India. Students of the pretested group were examined for resilience using the Child Youth Resilience Measurement scale. A life skills education-based health empowerment intervention was administered among students of the experimental group. Post-test data on resilience, self-determination, internal health locus of control and pathological behaviour was obtained 3 months after the completion of intervention. A multi-level general linear mixed model was constructed to determine the effect of intervention on resilience. Results: Resilience was less among tribal adolescents at baseline. The intervention significantly improved resilience [βAdjusted = 11.19 (95% CI ¼ 10.55, 11.83], with a greater increase for tribal adolescents [βtribal-nontribal = 1.53 (95% CI ¼ 0.03, 3.03)]. The intervention also significantly improved internal health locus of control (marginal mean increment 1.38 ± 0.05), self-determination (marginal mean increment 3.71 ± 0.09) and reduced pathological behaviour of the adolescents. Conclusion: Our study informed the current health policy that the existing life skills education-based programme should be reviewed and modified to include generic life skills, and the life skills education-based programme should be coupled with developmental interventions aimed at improving adult education and family climate for optimum effect on mental health and health behaviour of adolescents. (Structured and informative)
  • 15. • Mental health problems are linked to the negative affect state and unsuccessful coping in the presence of stress • Indian adolescents residing in tribal areas are exposed to an even greater risk of developing stress-related mental health problems • They face greater adversity in life course and are deprived of even the basic amenities
  • 16. • Threats and stressors: poverty, violence, disaster and war • Low stress resilience in adolescence is associated with greater risk of receiving medications for depression and anxiety in middle age • Empowerment has been shown as an effective method to increase resilience
  • 17. • Strength-based approaches focus on local capacity building by attending to inherent resources or strengths of individuals, families, groups or organizations ‘deploying personal strengths to aid recovery’ • Popular form of strength-based intervention is life skills education • Success of LSE depends on the fidelity of implementation
  • 18. • To inform the current health policy regarding the effect of a short-term modified LSE-based empowerment intervention on the resilience of school-going adolescents (scientific background and rationale well explained)
  • 19. • Primary:  To determine the effect of combined life skills-based health empowerment intervention on the resilience of school-going adolescents in a tribal area OBJECTIVES
  • 20. • Secondary:  To determine the effect of the intervention on internal health locus of control and self determination  To compare the effect of intervention on resilience between non- tribal and tribal adolescents (SMART with good action verb)
  • 22. Study design: Quasi-experimental study using Solomon four-group design Study duration: 2013 to 2015 (period of 24 months) (appropriate to answer objective) (study duration mentioned)
  • 23. Study setting: • Purulia district of West Bengal • One-fifth of district’s population is tribal • Majority are residents of rural areas • Tribal Health Project was started in 10 blocks of the district in 2007 by the Department of Health & Family Welfare, Purulia
  • 24. • Literacy rate in the district is substantially lower than the state average, while infant and maternal mortality rates are high (not well described)
  • 26. Study population: School students of Purulia district
  • 27. Inclusion criteria: • Students of grade VI-IX (who had completed primary education at the time of baseline survey) • Age of the students ranged from 11 to 17 years
  • 28. Exclusion criteria: • Those who had any acute or chronic illness that would preclude their participation in the study • Those who failed to attend the pre-test, intervention or post-test • Those whose parents did not give consent (eligibility criteria for participants mentioned)
  • 29. Sample size: • According to Child Youth Resilience Measurement scale (CYRM-28) development manual, the mean total resilience score of complex-needs youth was 103.85 with a SD of 20.18 Non-inferiority limit (d) 10% (i.e., M = 10.39) Significance level (α) 5% Power (1-β) 90%
  • 30. • Sample size : 65 each for the experimental and control groups • For two schools, pretesting for the resilience score at baseline revealed ρ = 0.073 • Therefore, calculations target the total effective sample size at 738 (sample size calculation well explained)
  • 31. Sampling method: 20 Community development blocks of Purulia district Line listing of blocks with ≥ 2000 households and headed by ST person 15 community development blocks 2 blocks selected at random
  • 32. High schools were line listed List of West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education One co-ed school was selected from each block For ethical reasons, all students of each school were included in the study population (sampling method not well described)
  • 33. Purulia District 15 CD Blocks Random selection of 2 blocks Balarampur Block Purulia I Block 3 Co-ed Gvt. Hr. Sec schools 2 Gvt. Sponsored Hr. Sec schools

  2. Diff between grp A and grp C post-test allows to check for pretest effect Diff between grp B and D post-test shows pre-test effect independent of Tt If d diifers from c , we can conclude pre-test had some effects on the results Disadv: More sample Few investiators interested More complex
  3. Means exposure to pre-test increases sensitivity to the Tt, thus affecting generalizability from a pretested sample to an unprotested population Pretest sensitization occurs when part scores on post-test is influenced as a result of pre-test being administered Adv: 2 extra control grp: control for confounding Inc external validity coz real life situations by taking post test only as well Assures equality of grps even in quasi exp
  4. Resilience often mistaken to be trait of individual termed as resiliency Resilience : bases : self-confidence, self-esteem, self-concept ______________________________________________________________________ 3 RESILIENCE Based on work conducted by researchers affiliated with the Resilience Research Centre, we now understand resilience ecologically. An ecological perspective implicates those mandated to help (social workers, child and youth care workers, psychologists, nurses, educators, etc.) as well as those expected to provide support (communities, family, and peer groups) in the process of intervening to provide a child opportunities to realize his or her potential. Resilience is defined as: I. The capacity of individuals to navigate their way to resources that sustain well-being; II. The capacity of individuals’ physical and social ecologies to provide those resources; and III. The capacity of individuals, their families and communities to negotiate culturally meaningful ways for resources to be shared.
  5. Self-determination indicates the self-control of an individual over his/her behaviour and health-related actions, and is also related to autonomy in making the best decision out of available alternatives of behaviour or action to ensure a rewarding health outcome HLC:HEALTH EXPECTANCY
  6. ‘Adaptive’ means that a person is flexible in approach and is able to adjust to different circumstances. ‘Positive behavior’ means that a person is forward looking and that even in difficult situations he/ she can find a ray of hope and find alternative solutions to problems. In short ‘RESILIENCE’ Life Skills of a person develop over the years continuously in a dynamic manner.
  7. Given desire to do so and scope to do so
  8. Decision Making The process of assessing an issue by considering all possible/available options and the effects those different decisions might have on them. PROBLEM choosing the one which suits best Creative Thinking It is an ability that helps us look beyond our direct experience and address issues in a perspective which is different from the obvious or the norm. It adds novelty and flexibility to the situation of our daily life. It contributes to problem solving and decision making by enabling us to explore available alternatives and various consequences of our actions or non-action Critical Thinking It is the ability to analyze information and experiences in an objective manner. Critical Thinking It is the ability to analyze information and experiences in an objective manner. Interpersonal Relationship It is a skill that helps us to understand our relations with relevant others and relate in a positive/reciprocal manner with them. Self-Awareness This includes our recognition of ourselves, our character, strengths and weaknesses, desires and dislikes Empathy It is an ability to imagine what life is like for another person even in a situation that we may not be familiar with Coping with Emotions It is an ability, which involves recognizing emotions in others and ourselves, being aware of how emotions influence behavior and being able to respond to emotions appropriately. Coping with Stress It an ability to recognize the source of stress in our lives, its effect on us and acting in ways that help to control our levels of stress
  9. a process through which people gain greater control over decisions and actions affecting their health  aim of empowering patients is to help them develop self-awareness, self-care and promote the understanding that patients can be equal partners in their healthcare decisions empowerment puts patients at the heart of health services so that they are able to derive the maximum benefits from it
